TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Edison Witt The first must-see film of the year.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Amityville15 Two fathers lose their jobs in product development at a large food company and are forced to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become stay at home fathers. With no job possibilities on the horizon , the two dads open their own day care facility, "Daddy Day Care" and employ some fairly unconventional and side-splitting methods of caring for children. However they face competition from the headmistress from Chapman as more of her students are joining Daddy Day Care.This film starred: Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn & Angelica Hudson.DADDY DAY CARE was released in 2003 ad is and is an OK family comedy. If you have children there is a big chance they will enjoy this film because even I got a few chuckles out of it. This film isn't something I would probably watch again but I do recommend this film to people with young kids as they will most likely enjoy it. So if you have kids that go to a day care centre, you should show them this film.***/***** Could be worse.

tavm As someone who's watched Eddie Murphy since his television debut on "Saturday Night Live" in 1980, I've seen him in many of his movies and I've liked him in most of the ones I've viewed (an exception would be Pluto Nash). So it is that I've now watched him in this family-friendly comedy that was a hit nine years ago. Having been used to seeing him being a wise guy or playing some outrageous characters, I have to admit I'm not used to seeing such a subdued Eddie as he seems here. In fact, he rarely says or does anything remotely funny. I mean, this is very much a cutesy kind of movie meant to amuse parents and provide their kids some relatable characters their age. And if I was an under age 12 one, I'd probably really like this movie. I don't hate it, per se. It's just not something that's my cup of tea, that's all. Still, Daddy Day Care is harmless enough and it's fascinating to see "SNL" vet Murphy have scenes with subsequent cast members Kevin Nealon, Siobahn Fallon Hogan, and Laura Kightlinger. And if you want to expose your kid to Murphy without getting embarrassed by some of the material, this is as good a place to start...

www-jats Daddy Day Care is a nice family film that is entertaining to watch. Charlie and Phil are so consumed by their advertising jobs that they are completely missing out on the joys of fatherhood. After failing to excite the public about vegetable cereal, Charlie and Phil are fired from their ad jobs. While in search of employment and tending to his four-year-old son Ben during the day while his wife Kim is at work, Charlie has an idea. If he and Phil can handle taking care of two kids, how much harder can it be to supervise ten? Much harder than they ever imagined. But, they will try to manage to pull through and not let Miss Gwyneth Harridan ruin their day care. The plot doesn't sounds great but it does have some potential, Fortunately, it delivered as this is film was actually quite funny. It wasn't over the top funny or Finding Nemo funny but it defiantly can stand on its own. At most times Daddy Day Care may just seem like a film with a bunch of screaming kids and nothing else which isn't true as there are many laughs to be found as well. Eddie Murphy stars and gives quite a funny performance. The real stars of the film though are the little kids. Most of them were funny, some were annoying but they were all tolerable. Regina King plays Kim and she doesn't really appear in the film very much but gives a funny line or two. Steve Zahn was really funny as Marvin. Sure sometimes his character was too stupid to like but it never crosses the line. Anjelica Huston plays the same role I usually see her in, she plays a mean person well but it is tiring seeing her do the same thing. Lacey Chabert has a small but funny role and she is a bit underrated. Jeff Garlin wasn't that good, like when compared to everyone else he was weak and not very funny either. Steve Carr directs and does a decent job, nothing special. I don't know why I liked this movie as much as I did. It was stupid and kind of had a weak story but I still liked it. It does get dull at times, particularly the beginning as it starts off slow but it becomes funnier as the film continues. The running time is 92 minutes so it wouldn't be that much of a punishment to watch. The movie isn't very clever it's a simple film but it does contain enough laughs to entertain most people. Daddy Day Care is also a lot better then The Haunted Mansion. So, if you have a choice between the two, I would go with this one. In the end, this isn't a great film but it might fit the bill if you are in need for a family flick. Rating 6.7/10

Ref 65 This has to be one of the one of the worst comedies to walk on the face of the Earth,the acting is dreadful,the plot sucked and Eddie Murphy put on a bad performance.I've seen Eddie Murphy in the Shrek movies and he put on great performances.It's about to lads who call themselves losers and put up a daddy day care center and they soon find out that they can't control the kids and an inspector comes and says they need more staff or else he will shut daddy day care down but fear not...the two boneheads have a plan that doesn't seem to work and daddy day care gets shut down.The only way to reopen it is to find a bigger place,more staff and try to get the kids back from some school for kids aged 2-4 or something like that.This movie is a real joke that can't make you laugh instead it makes you sleepy.The story isn't that bad but nothing is funny except the part when a kid comes out of the bathroom and says "I missed"and Eddie Murphy looks in the bathroom and the music from "Psycho" comes on.Eddie Murphy fans will be extremely disappointed with this movie but I kind of doubt they will like it but its your choice to watch it.This really is a really bad movie and that includes Eddie Murphy's performance.I would only watch this again if I have to pick a choice between "The Pink Panther" or this,I would watch this movie again This is a movie that should be avoided at all costs and don't say that I didn't warn you if you're disappointed.What a waste of time and film.
